FoP labels provide nutritional information on the front of food packaging, typically focusing on calories, fat, saturated fat, sugars, and salt. They are important because they give consumers at-a-glance insights into a product’s nutritional value, helping them make informed, healthier choices.

In the UK, FoP labels must comply with guidelines set by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Department of Health, which dictate the use of traffic light colour coding to indicate levels of fat, saturated fat, sugars, and salt. These labels must align with EU and UK food labelling regulations, providing clear, accurate nutritional information in line with thresholds for each nutrient.

Yes, at Labelservice, we can design and manufacture FoP labels that fit a wide range of packaging types and sizes, from small snack packs to large cartons. We’ll guarantee that the labels maintain legibility and clarity, regardless of the package dimensions, while also aligning with regulatory size requirements for text and icons.

We use various printing techniques, including digital, flexographic, and lithographic printing, depending on the volume and type of label. These methods all offer high-resolution, and colourful labels that maintain clarity, even on small packaging, while offering flexibility for colour coding, barcodes, and QR codes.

FoP labels are typically printed on high-quality materials such as semi-gloss or matte paper, polypropylene (PP) for durability, or polyethylene (PE) for flexible packaging. The choice of material depends on the product’s packaging requirements, such as moisture resistance, temperature stability, and durability during transportation.

Yes, we have a team that can help your FoP labels meet all UK regulatory requirements. Our design team is well-versed in current FSA guidelines and will assist in placing the nutritional information and colour coding correctly to make sure your labels comply with legal standards while being visually appealing.

Labelservice uses food-safe, certified inks and adhesives that comply with UK and EU food packaging regulations. Our labels are tested for durability to ensure they withstand varying conditions like refrigeration, handling, and transportation without fading, peeling, or losing adhesion.

We use a range of adhesives depending on the packaging material and storage conditions. Options include permanent adhesives for long-lasting application or removable adhesives for temporary use. For refrigerated or frozen products, we offer temperature-resistant adhesives that ensure labels stay intact even in extreme conditions. All adhesives are food-safe and compliant with UK and EU regulations, so they don’t compromise product safety or quality.

Labelservice can easily integrate barcodes or QR codes into your FoP labels. This helps with more functionality, allowing customers to access more detailed product information or promotions by scanning the code. These elements are seamlessly incorporated into the design without compromising the clarity of the nutritional information.

We offer a range of eco-friendly materials, including recyclable papers, compostable films, and low-impact adhesives. Our sustainable options help brands with their environmental footprint without compromising on label quality or appearance, making them great for companies looking to meet growing customer demand for greener packaging solutions.
